We are Knitcrate Ambassadors! Are you the kind of knitter who would enjoy receiving a surprise package of yarn in the mail every month? Then you need to sign up for a Knitcrate subscription. Every month, you will receive a selection of curated yarn, a pattern specifically paired to use with the yarn, and a treat. Use code KD20 at checkout for 20% off your first package when you sign up for a subscription.

FiberCrafty’s  independently owned shops are stocked with yarn, fiber, project bags, stitch markers and more. With filter terms specific to yarn and fiber, the ability to save favorites, and a secure checkout process, it’s better than a 24 hour fiber festival! For shop owners, our easy to use interface makes selling online easy. FiberCrafty is owned by one woman that has a crazy love of yarn and knitting. Greg’s favorite feature? Pants are optional. Shop for your next project at FiberCrafty.

    Wow o wow! I think I’m hooked on podcasts now. Pam, you presented Adele’s Mohair and me superbly, even adding interesting tidbits about Angora goats & the Karoo. I’m jealous that you can pronounce Xhosa which I’m still practicing. AND I’ve found both of you who share my fan-hood of EZ & Meg. No more court TV in the afternoon for me – I’ll be listening to your podcasts & knitting or spinning of course. Thank you! Kathy aka gotmygoat

      Well now, Podcasts are a good thing to get hooked on!! And they are the perfect company for knitting, spinning, cooking, walking the dog, doing chores (not vacuuming, it’s too loud). So glad that you enjoyed it.
